He said it at an event named “Total Ban on Liquor during the Elections” organized by the Urjaa Foundation on Thursday, March 28, 2019, at Café Bhadaas.

Arihant Rishi requested the Chief Election Commissioner of India for total liquor prohibition during the Lok Sabha elections in the country, which is going to be held from April 11 to May 19, 2019, in 7 phases, and in the assembly elections in Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha and Sikkim.
